thepotential impact of the on-going work was evident [30]. It is well-accepted that the currentgeneration of college students have an affinity for environmental and social issues and thatlinking efforts to these “Grand Challenges” is inspirational and provides an external motivationfor long-term career goals [31], [32]. The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation(LSAMP) program was used to give the RS students their first experience working in a modernresearch laboratory as a team member under faculty direction [33]. Once the students hadexperienced working under a faculty member, they were given a chance to direct a project oftheir own choosing. Similar to a capstone experience, self-directed technical work buildsconfidence and marketable
instructors collaborated in co-teaching the first-yearexperience university seminar course that the students had to take the fall quarter of the academicyear. This collaboration built a strong connection between the two instructors and the students.The course provided a more casual environment beyond the structured technical content of eachinstructor's respective discipline-specific courses.Additional Engineering Course MeetingsThe standard first-year engineering course is typically taught twice a week, with each sessionlasting an hour and fifty minutes. Throughout the year, the engineering class for SSP studentswas extended to three days, providing increased contact hours with their instructor. Thisadjustment facilitated greater access to laboratory

For example, Dean Chen taught in theU.S. for many years and served as a major research manager at Johns Hopkins University inBaltimore, MD. Peking University is not a "typical" Chinese university and it is working to be more likethose in the U.S. They are trying to emulate Stanford and MIT with emphasis onentrepreneurship and a strong focus on teaching. They have the most Ministry of Science(similar to the U.S. Department of Energy) technology grants and a research center withcontinuing funding. Regarding globalization, they collaborate with the

To better understandindustry needs, Terman would take the trouble to contact chief engineers of importantelectronics companies to find out which device or design approach was widely used.These were the design approaches he focused on in his teaching, research, journalpublications, and textbook publications (his electronics texts were at one time thesecond most valuable book property of the McGraw-Hill Book Company, being exceededin popularity only by a standard treatise of engineering drawing). A former student andprotégé of Terman’s, Professor Oswald Villard of the Stanford School of Engineeringrecalled:” Along with enormous energy, Terman always had a clear idea of what hewanted to do and what to do to meet his
part of a team is essential in any technological field. Therefore, in thetechnology program at The University of Toledo, each major course has a laboratory attached toit. Students in these courses gain the experience of working with a team to achieve the labobjectives. That experience proved to be a valuable asset when it came to accomplishing theCapstone project. Students were required to function as a team in a proficient manner in order toexecute each and every aspect of this project. This allowed them to share ideas and skills and toexamine each others strengths and weaknesses as well as the importance of delegatingresponsibility accordingly. Students shared responsibility for everything from establishing theparameters of the project
laboratories indicated graphical rating scales were used by avast majority [19].A report by Murphy indicated a criticism of graphical ratings is the tendency of managers toassign a uniform rating. Murphy’s report studied Merck & Co, Inc. from 1978 through 1989.Merck managers assigned a rating from 1, poor, to 5, best, based on overall performance. Forappraisals during 1984 and 1985, 97.76% of the employees received a 3 or 4 appraisal rating[20]. The Cornell University researchers found 77% of their respondents’ professionalemployees rated at the comparable 3 or 4 level [14].Another shortcoming of the graphical rating is its inherent relia nce on the rater’s subjectiveanalysis of the work performance behaviors observed and their translation to the

Successful participants engaged in proportionally morescientific reasoning than less successful participants. In general, successful participants relied onmore laboratory/data tests and less on resource materials (i.e., experts, library, dictionary).Further, successful participants exhibited less confusion and had less of a need to fill gaps intheir knowledge. In contrast, less successful participants misinterpreted information, wereconfused, and were unsuccessful at eliminating parents even though the tests they were usingcould have eliminated a parent
with progressively greater emphasison constructivism.Advantages Of Activity-Based Learning Versus Lecture-Based TeachingOne key concept in educational improvement is that there should be more emphasis on studentlearning as opposed to the process of teaching. Research such as that reported above indicatesthat students learn best in situations in which they are actively engaged in the learning process.Furthermore, particularly in engineering technology programs, students are expected to be ableto perform useful tasks immediately upon completion of the program. There is an emphasis onwhat students can do in addition to what they know. They are expected to critically analyzeproblems and generate appropriate solutions with minimal supervision

as follows: The deformation and wave propagation should be uniform and uniaxial so that the strain rate and compressive stress wave could be determined accurately based on the technique introduced by Kolsky. The maximum strain rate of 5000 should be attained by the apparatus.The design constraints are as follows: Due to limitation of the laboratory space, the apparatus size should be limited to 2 meters in length. Due to budget limitation, the total cost of the prototype should not exceed $1000.Initial Design:As shown in Figure 2, the major components of a generic Split Hopkinson Pressure Barapparatus are as follows: Nitrogen Tank / Compressor is the pressure source that the striker projectile is provided in

2014 report indicate thatneurodiverse individuals make up only around 3% of science and engineering doctoral degreerecipients [10].Graduate students face a unique set of challenges when compared to undergraduate students,with faculty advisors playing a large role in student success. Several studies have noted specificchallenges related to advisors, including work-life balance, which may be impacted by facultyexpectations, and hierarchical faculty-student relationships [11]-[13]. Satterfield et al.’s [14]literature review focused on the experiences of graduate students during their studies andexplored how individual factors (the influence of the student’s advisor), programmatic factors(isolation and teaching assistantships), and external

Cincinnati, College of Engineering. This survey used the same formatand gathered results for 10 distinct disciplines in the undergraduate program. Canale & Duwartconducted parallel studies at Northeastern University. Results from both sets of studies areconsistent. They indicate that the students’ perceptions of the learning that occurred throughcooperative education has a direct and significant impact on their development in the elevenABET attributes. Within all engineering disciplines surveyed, and without special treatment,cooperative education shows itself to be a strong partner, along with traditional academiccoursework and laboratories, in the development of these attributes in the engineering graduate.The authors propose that colleges who
